Hi all, I am actually struggling with something since an year now, so if someone has better info related to this, will be of great help.
As you all must be knowing that persons with disability are supposed to have UDID (unique disability identification) card, but does anyone have knowledge of why this card? I tried to read about this and my understanding was that this is a one card in place of different cards we are needed to hold and will be valid throughout India. Thus, I went ahead and got the card done this January. Now, for booking train ticket for long distance, I came to know that UDID is not sufficient. There is a different process. We need to visit District Railway Manager (DRM) office, collect a railway concession form, fill it and get is signed plus stamped by a government eye doctor, and submit at DRM office. From here it takes another three months to receive your railway card which consists some number, using which we can then book concessional tickets. My concern is that how is it making sense to go through so many steps and still have multiple cards. Disability certificate, UDID, railway concession card, etc. Along with that, this card will be valid for only 5 years, and then redo whole thing again. Does anybody has similar experience, or have better knowledge/ solution to this. Not sure whether I am missing something, but really circling through never ending processes.
